Rockpile Winery (Mauritson)
Cemetery Vineyard Zinfandel
I don’t drink Zinfandel that often but I do like it. Clay Mauritson has a great touch with it from Rockpile. Deep raspberry tootsie pops and cola notes. Nicely running the edge between ripe and very ripe with good underlying tannin/acid structure. Drink or hold.

Apr 8th, 2018Thanksgiving wine #3. The oak has a firm grip. Shares some port characteristics. Pleasant, rich and warming. Mineral trying to shine through.

Nov 25th, 2016Very fresh. Could age for 4-6 more years easily. Rich and concentrated with nice tension and robust tannins.

Feb 27th, 2016A crazy cedar driven zin. A nice volcanic tombstone-like rock vineyard. Epitaph colored soils. A bit spicier and aged feeling. Bravo.
